The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2010 by Guerlain, Aqua Allegoria Flora Nymphea is a floral fragrance created by Thierry Wasser. This composition opens with green and citrus notes that evoke the freshness of springtime, giving way to honeyed red berries and orange blossom. The heart features syringa (lilac), adding a soft floral sweetness, while musk and woody notes provide a warm, enveloping base. Flora Nymphea is an embodiment of Guerlain's tradition of using luxurious materials in its perfumes.
Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points. The green and citrus notes are bright but short-lived, so for a longer-lasting effect, focus on areas like wrists and neck where warmth can extend the floral heart and musky base. This fragrance is best suited for daytime wear when its freshness shines through.
